New Year's resolutions have become jokes,

because they are made and broken with impunity. Deep sentiment, however, attaches to the making of these resolves at the beginning of the

year. The closing hours of a year always are frought with serious thoughts, and from the retrospective and introspection about the days that have, slipped away comes the decision to change wicked ways, abandon evil habits, and to reform. The main drawback to this kind of conversion is that it takes place in a hurry, the will is stampeded into a decision before the intellect really has grasped fully the step that is imminent. Hence, the New Year's resolution is on the verge of being broken as soon as it is made and usually only a few days, often only a few hours, pass be

fore the person who highly, resolved to change his

method of living is back in the old rut. If a person would take an inventory of himself on New Year's eve, check up his good traits, list his bad ones, and then would try to ascertain why . he does the evil thing, .; thinks the evil thought, speaks the evid word, he would be taking a step that might lead him to a New Year's

resolution that would be kept inviolate not only in 1916 but in all succeeding years. Then, he would strike at the root of the evil, and by eradicating it, or by striving to do better, he would lay the foundation for improvement. Thousands of New Year's resolutions are made haphazard and without a bit of forethought. For instance a man decides not to smoke in 1916. He has not reasoned with himself that smoking is injurious to his health, that it is expensive, that it is insanitary. The resolve

to quit the habit is a whim at the most, the result being that often before the first day of the new year is gone he is again puffing away at the weed. Success might have attended his resolu

tion, if the smoker had given the problem of

smoking serious thought and then on the basis of facts would have tried to quit the practice.

New Year's day is a good time to leave the old

devious ways that do not make for health, happi

ness and rectitude. It is noble to begin another year with high and holy determination to live a purer and cleaner life. But it is higher honor to

be able to say on December 31, the year just con

eluded is witness that I have led a better life than

I was leading when January 1 dawned.

War Talk Over

Whitewater River Guts Below Strata

Two test holes on the east bank of the river have bees, completed by Contractor Bert sen and show that the Whitewater river at Main street has cut below the upper stone strata and that In the construction of a bridge, a deeper foundation will have to be made. '. . " - Fifteen feet below the surface oa the east side, the test revealed a strata of "hard pan" from five to eignt . feet thick. County EngjoW Mueller said today that this layer of hardpaa will be sufficient to support the foundation as there Is a solid layer of gravel and sand underneath it. Trouble Is being experienced to dim

mer the holes on the west bank. Be

cause of the lay of the land. It has

been hard for the contractor to And &

suitable place for his machinery and

it will be necessary to build a plat

form. - The result of the tests on the west bank will really determine definitely the condition cf the ground underneath the present bridge, for the engineer will then be able to determine the width, direction and amount of the strata of "hard pan," which is a hard clay formation which crops out about a mile down the river. " , No Quick sand was found although it had been reported when the Main street bridge question first presented itself that there were beds of quicksand which would prevent i foundation for a concrete bridge. All the sand and gravel is solid, sccording to Mr. Mueller. The tests which are being made are not only cf advantage to the county engineer in determining the character of a bridge to build, but also of value

as a geological study. Samples of the earth Is betes taken every two feet. The two holes oa the east sixty were approximately SO feet In ..depth. Samples of the earth have been placed In tin cans sad labelled for future reference. The Whitewater river has practically completed Its labors and during the last few million years has cut through the strata or rock which is now exposed on the west bank as the river winds it way through the city. According to the results obtained from the test holes that have been made, the river has finished the work of cutting throngs the layer of hard

rock for the tests show that under

neath the present river bed, there is a layer of sand and gravel about fif

teen feet deep. Large boulders were

encountered br the drill until it reach'

ed fifteen feet below the surface and

then a layer of hard clay, from five to eight feet deep. Underneath this Is

gravel and sand again. '

The Whitewater river, which for

centuries has been cutting Its way

seeking a level, is now carrying on its

work slowly due to 'he fact that there

is not enough drop In the river to

cause it to do much work.

The Eaiibam college geological department will use the data and mater

ial secured in the test holes lor class

study. The character of the earth below the surface of the river bed has

been ascertained by geologists in this community heretofore merely through

calculations bssed on surf see observa

tions, bnt the tests now being made will enable the geologists to have first hand information with speclments of the material available for experiment al purposes.

M. H. GAAR PLATS BEAUTIFUL ESTATE IN CAMBRIDGE CITY

Landscape Gardener Surrounds House With Plants

and Shrubbery Producing '

Beautiful Scenic Effect.

By STAFF WRITER. . The automobile has brought about many new conditions and among the most noticeable is the decoration of the lawns of the beautiful homes of the rural districts. A few years ago there were very few people in the country vho cared much for the decoration of their home grounds, but there were a few who took prid In keeping their lawns artistically decorated with flowering plants, shrubs, hedges and ornamental trees. As autoists who passed these beautiful places, they became Interested, and

planned for the decoration-of , tfigtr

own name grounds unm , loaay miroi of the country homes snow the effect cf skillful planning. There are many homes in Eastern Indiana which deserve , mention as places of beaut., but of all of these, there is one which is generally talked of by those who have sefea the place as one suitable to be considered a sample of the highest type. In many cases the bouse is superior in beauty to the grounds, and In others the grounds are superior to the house, but in this Instance the house and surrounding grounds pleasingly correspond. This beauty spot is located on Capital Hill in the east part of Cambridge City, on the south side of the road, and Is owned by M. H. Gaar, who is a landscape architect and nursery man. Mr. Gaar convinced the public many years ago that he was an artl.it in bis line by demonstrating his abil

ity on his own grounds, and during! tho past two or three years he has j decorated several hundred homes in ! this locality which has made hint i many friends among tbe lovers of! artistic beauty. Mr. Gaar and his helpers spent sev-i efal weeks here last fall doing landscape work, the largest contract was with Paul Comstock, which required: several thousand plants, shrubs and trees, and in a few years will be one I

of the most elaborately decorated places in Indiana. Mr. Gaar made his own architec

tural plans for his home and Hid most of the boulders in its construction. Hi demonstrated his ability along tbir line, as architects and contracts con slder that the architectural lines are excellent. The house is of tbe Cali fornla bungalow type, built of bould ers, of tile roof, and makes a. fin-, showing in the center of a circular terrace, which is beautifully decorated with shrubs, evergreens, hedges an! shade trees. Many persons have mode anecial

trips to these grounds to aet r-hoto-

grapha of It and they prise them hlgiv

ly. nunareas of people also go there for nursery stock and report Mr. Gaar as being very courteous and able

furnish anything in the line of nureery stock. J. E. Thatcher Is his representative ip Richmond. He sells anv.

tning rrom a rose to a gooseberry bush.
